General Safety Rules
1. Read and understand instructions provided in this
manual and warning labels. Review these instructions
frequently!
2. This machine is designed and built with your safety
in mind. Do not make any alterations or changes to this
machine. Any alteration to design or construction may
create safety hazards.
3. A large portion of farm accidents happen from fatigue
or carelessness. Safe and careful operation of tractor
and planter will help prevent accidents.
4. Never allow planter to be operated by anyone
unfamiliar with operation of all functions of the unit.
Operators must read and thoroughly understand all
instructions given in this manual before operating or
working on equipment.
5. Be aware of bystanders, particularly children! Always
look around to make sure it is safe to start tow vehicle
engine or move planter. This is particularly important
with higher noise levels and quiet cabs, as you may not
hear people shouting.
6. Make sure planter weight does not exceed towing
capacity of tractor, or bridge and road limits. This is
critical to maintain safe control and prevent death or
injury, or property and equipment damage.
7. Never ride or allow others to ride on planter.
8. Store planter in an area away from human activity. DO
NOT permit children to play on or around the stored unit.
9. Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from moving
parts. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing which may catch
in moving parts.
10. Always wear protective clothing, shoes, gloves,
hearing, and eye protection applicable for the situation.
11. Do not allow anyone to stand between tongue or
hitch and towing vehicle when backing up to planter.
13. Prevent electrocution, other injuries, or property
and equipment damage. Watch for obstructions such as
wires, tree limbs, etc. when operating machine. Be aware
of clearances during turns and when folding/unfolding
planter.
14. Reinstall all guards removed for maintenance
activities. Never leave guards off during operation.
15. Use of aftermarket hydraulic, electric, or PTO drives
may create serious safety hazards to you and people
nearby. If you install such drives, follow all appropriate
safety standards and practices to protect you and others
near this planter from injury.
16. Follow all federal, state/provincial, and local
regulations when towing farm equipment on a public
highway. Use safety chain (not an elastic or nylon/plastic
tow strap) to retain connection between towing and
towed machines in the event of primary attaching system
separation.
17. Make sure all safety/warning lights, SMV sign, and
reflective decals are in place and working properly
before transporting the machine on public roads.
18. Limit towing speed to 15 MPH. Tow only with farm
tractor of a minimum 90 HP. Allow for unit length when
making turns.
19. Reduce speed prior to turns to avoid the risk of
overturning. Always drive at a safe speed relative to local
conditions and ensure your speed is slow enough for a
safe emergency stop.
20. Chemical application is often an integral part of
planting. Follow label instructions for proper chemical
mixing, handling and container disposal methods.
21. Be familiar with safety procedures for immediate first
aid should you accidentally contact chemical substances.
22. Use the proper protective clothing and safety
equipment when handling chemicals.
23. Chemicals are supplied with Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) that provide full information about the
chemical, its effects on exposure, and first aid needs
in the event of an emergency. Keep your MSDS file
up-to-date and available for first responders in case of
emergency.
24. When servicing ground engaging components such
as opening disks and firming points, use special care to
avoid points and edges worn sharp during use.
25. Use professional help if you are unfamiliar with
working on hydraulic systems. Pressurized hydraulic fluid
can penetrate body tissue and result in death, serious
infection, or other injuries.

Machine Operation
Following information is general in nature to aid in preparation of tractor and planter for use, and to provide general
operating procedures. Operator experience, familiarity with the machine, and the following information should combine
for efficient planter operation and good working habits.
INITIAL PREPARATION
Transporting planter with hoppers over
half full or unevenly loaded can cause
loss of control and could result in death,
serious injury, or damage to property and
equipment. Properly load planter when
transporting. Be aware of extra transport
weight, and road conditions and limits.
WARNING
Uncontrolled movement of equipment
can cause loss of control and could
result in death, serious injury, or damage
to property and equipment. Install
all safety pins before transporting
equipment.
WARNING
Uncontrolled machine movement can
crush or cause loss of control resulting
in death, serious injury, or damage to
property and equipment. Install all safety
lockup devices before working under or
transporting this equipment.
WARNING
To avoid unintended movement of
axle during transport, return all SCV
controls to the neutral position before
transporting machine. DO NOT operate
any hydraulic function while transporting
machine. Doing so could result in death,
serious injury, or damage to property and
equipment.
WARNING
Transport axle can lower from transport
position without the use of any
controller, causing death, serious injury,
or damage to property and equipment.
Do not operate any hydraulic function
while transporting the planter. Make sure
all transport safety lockups are installed
on the four transport cylinders and all
SCV controls are in their neutral state
before transporting, storing and working
on the planter.

TRACTOR REQUIREMENTS
Consult your dealer for information on horsepower requirements and tractor compatibility. Requirements vary with
planter options, tillage, and terrain.
A 12 volt DC electrical system is required on all sizes.
TRACTOR PREPARATION AND HOOKUP
1. Adjust tractor drawbar 13-17 inches above ground with hitch pin hole directly below PTO shaft center line. Make
sure drawbar is in a stationary position.
2. Install control console or Blue Vantage Display on tractor
in a convenient location within easy reach of operator and
close to hydraulic controls. Mount control console securely
and route power cord to power source. Control console
operates on 12 volt DC only. If two 12 volt batteries are
connected in series, ALWAYS make power connection on
battery grounded to tractor chassis.
If two 6 volt batteries are connected in series, make sure
power connection provides 12 volt DC across positive
terminal on one battery and negative terminal of second
battery.
3. Back tractor to planter and connect with 1¼" - 1½"
diameter hitch pin. If tractor is not equipped with a hitch
pin locking device, make sure hitch pin is secured with a
locking pin or cotter pin.
